More Celebrations

In January, three little girls were removed from their home due to physical abuse, and were placed together in a 4KIDS Specialized Home.

The girls (ages 3, 4, and 6) came with nothing but the clothes they were wearing, and the first night in this new home was nothing short of extraordinary. According to Christal, 4KIDS Foster Care Supervisor, the girls excitedly ran around the house, opening every cabinet and touching every piece of furniture, one of them even exclaiming, "Wow, all this is for us?" Over the last few months, each of them has grown tremendously, from not ever talking or interacting with other children at their school to now boisterously playing and making friends! In their house mom, Rolanda, they have found an advocate and a stability that they have likely never experienced before. Since being in Rolanda's home, each of these three little sisters has grown academically, emotionally, and spiritually in so many ways.

Newborn Baby

Earlier this month, a baby boy was being discharged from the hospital at just a few days old with nowhere to go.

A new foster family who had just gotten licensed was called to take him in, and they said yes to him immediately. This Mother's Day, the foster mother was able to bring him to church for the first time, along with her husband and their six-year-old son, who has fallen in love with his new baby foster brother.

A Mentor + A Home

One of our single foster parents, Pia, recently welcomed an expecting teenage girl into her home.

In foster care, there are often limited options for young women who become pregnant, but that's not the case with Kimora*. Pia said "yes" to both Kimora and her baby on the way and is now able to walk alongside her as Kimora prepares for motherhood and continues to stay on track with her schooling.
